terraform-aws-lambda VS terraform-cdk

There are just too many required parameters to create a single handler. And then you need to do that N times for each handler. Take a look at a complete Terraform example for a lambda: https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambd...

For a personal project it's just a bit much in my experience, especially since most personal projects can easily be served by a t3.micro.

https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda/ - this modules has it all. There are various examples and submodules in that repository to help you achieve all your serverless tasks the same way.

It’s also weird not to know about terraform modules. There are a lot of things you _can_ configure because there are a lot of things people need to configure but if you’re using something like https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambd... it’s only a couple of lines of config for a Lambda.

I use the Community Terraform Lambda Module to define the lambda. It allows me to define a lambda in just a few lines that are configured with a role and can also be easily extended with policies. The cool thing is that cdktf supports a type import. To do this, simply add the following module to the cdktf.json file:

As somebody already mentioned in the comments, you can use the terraform-aws-lambda module as well as many other modules for typical serverless services like API Gateway v2, AppSync, EventBridge, StepFunctions, AppConfig, DynamoDB, and many more.

You can containerize the lambda functions and when you deploy each lambda function, you can overwrite the CMD for each function in the resource block to match what you need. I'm doing something similar but only deploy 2 lambda functions which use the same source code but do very different tasks. I also strongly suggest you use the terraform-aws-lambda module since it will build out all related resources you need.

Have a look at this module: https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda

I can't find any open issues on github or anyone asking for it other than in the modules that are provided. https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-lambda/issues/128

At first I tested it to deploy an OVHcloud Managed Kubernetes Service (MKS) with a Node Pool. And step by step, it worked. I even created a Pull Request (PR) in the terraform-cdk repository to add it as an example ☺️.

I'll be trying more sample app deployments with CDK and maybe even explore CDK for Terraform.

You can use CDK with other providers using https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk

In my experience, CDK is far better than Pulumi, especially if you're mostly going to be using AWS.

I, personally, prefer Crossplane Composite Functions on top of CDK8S, but had dropped CDKTF due to bloat. You can actually manage Kubernetes updates/upgrade lifecycle with Crossplane, as well.

I was going to recommend Pulumi, but looks like CDK for Terraform is still being kept up to date.

Avoid Pulumi, get directly to source and use https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk
